Incredible! Why haven't they done this in the new series so far? Such a great idea!

From the point of view of the TARDIS, this is interesting. The way in which it dematerialises and then appears to spin in the Vortex when it's fully dematerialised implies that it's not actually moving, but that space and time are moving around it. So if it doesn't make your head hurt too much, try to visualise the Vortex itself as the thing that is moving, while the TARDIS remains in a fixed position and orientation. It's not accelerating towards different points in space-time - those spots are accelerating towards the TARDIS.

This level of quality is far superior to the show.

You should seriously force the BBC to watch this.

If there is ever a modern Doctor Who movie, this is what i imagine the title sequence lead-in should be like. Such a fantastic concept and execution, just fantastic!

Congrats on getting hired (to presumably do the time vortex) on Twice Upon on Time!

3 years later and you've made the official Doctor Who title sequence, awesome.

I can't stop watching this video. It is a perfect visualization of how I imagined a flight of the TARDIS would look like. From our perspective, the TARDIS fades or "blinks" out, and fades back in. From the view point of the TARDIS, space and time are conglomerating around the TARDIS until it finally enters the Space-Time vortex, which consist of all points in space and all points in time. The TARDIS doesn't actually "move" but rather, the TARDIS manipulates space-time around it until it enters the vortex. Then the Vortex moves around the TARDIS to its intended destination (a point in space, and a point in time). The Materialization portion is space-time around the TARDIS settling back into a normal state. This also explains why the Doctor's TARDIS tends to materialize at the incorrect destination, or the incorrect time. The Doctor's TARDIS was obsolete when he stole it. The Chameleon circuit shortly went out when he first began his travels, and it is implied that the navigational system (which would essentially pilot the TARDIS through the complexities of the Vortex) is possibly faulty. (Name of the Doctor, The Doctor's Wife)

This is really innovative little shot. We've always seen the TARDIS dematerialising from the POV of other characters, where it just sort've winks out of existence. It's really nice to see the camera show the TARDIS dematerialising from its POV. That's actually something I'm surprised hasn't been incorporated into the show.

That is amazing!

Incredible! I'll have to think of some creative ways to show the effect in my own videos. Thanks for sharing!

"How does this thing work?" He laughed. "Oh, even if I tried to explain it to you, it wouldn't make sense." She looked at him. He sighed. "If you insist," he said. He thought for a moment. "We are in a vehicle who's engine bends the laws of physics and reality itself, twisting and contorting the universe like play-doh, completely sidestepping the light-speed barrier, travelling between dimensions, all as though it doesn't have any effect. The energies that power this device are beyond anything that exists in any universe anywhere; this TARDIS is in and of itself a universe in seclusion, a closed-off pocket of reality. My little slice of life, if I dare say." "Well that doesn't make much sense." He chuckled. "I told you."

This is pretty much the best Doctor Who shot I have ever seen. You've outdone yourself with this, and I hope you do a breakdown as you've done with other sequences. This should be canonized.

Love the look of the Time Vortex, we don't see enough of it now imo. Ultimately, this transition would likely take too long to be used every dematerialisation, but if cut down and without the spinning camera, it would be a great alternative to the long standing transition.

Even after so many years this still looks visually stunning! Wonder why they haven't done this in the show yet? maybe now we have disney money for effects...

The sound when the camera flies past the TARDIS in the vortex, that sound of it spinning, so brief but it was so spot on, it gave me shivers. Wonderful work.

This is freaking brilliant!! It’s a fresh idea that cleverly ties into the time vortex we’ve come to know. It’s a mating of innovation and familiarity. Someone hire this person/group!!

It's so cool! The Vortex looks like it has spots of colour and explosions of what I can only think of as "Happenings". Maybe it's what the Doctor talks about of how some dates are difficult to land in, but there are special dates like Saturdays where anything can happen.

This is well and truly, the best dematerialisation and vortex sequence I've ever seen. This is what Doctor Who SHOULD be without a doubt, or at the very least for a truly epic and (perhaps more importantly) respectable feature film. I truly hope this becomes a reality and the BBC ask YOU to make it.

When the fan's are making better effects than the people who produce the show, it really makes you think.

The show desperately needs a Creative Director clever enough to do something like this, and a show runner brave enough to let stuff like this be done.

I love how from a spinning camera it goes to a spinning tardis,great transition!

I love how the trees come into view at the end, very surreal and magical

I simply can't explain how absolutely amazing this reimagining is! Just the concept itself and the realization are beautifully executed. Well done, good sir, well done!

Okay, I saw this thinking it’s just another one of those ones where they make a box disappear, but no, that is the greatest Fan Made Doctor Who thing I’ve ever seen, you truly earned this subscriber and like, I love it. 100000 out of 10. You’ve got an amazing skill that just can’t be challenged

i love the transition from the camera spinning to the Tardis spinning, please do tutorials we need more people like you, made 6 years ago and it still blows my mind

This was amazing, seeing the physical way the tardis goes from one point in time and space to another, incredible work!

This is just something marvelous to behold. Perfectly executed, true art. It pleases the eyes and is incredibly impressive, including details down to the ridges in the Wood.

BBC should Hire you! And make a movie with you fx

Wow, very impressive. It would take too much time to do this every episode but it would make a great season-ender. It should definitely be included. More importantly, you might have just inspired a whole heap of new shots in the series which could take advantage of today's digital capabilities. Well done!

They finally did it. They finally brought you in to put this into the show 😭

I have dreamt of a shot like this, you made it a reality! Amazing! It really is a shame that now a days people in the business that are in charge are usually not people with passion or talent but people who know business that just so happen to like the thing they are working on and will make the studio/station money.

Fell in love with this the first time I saw it :) This is a brilliant perspective on the Dematerialisation of the Tardis. :D

This is the coolest thing ever. I like your version of the vortex... Kinda gave it a movie feel

So awesome. The BBC just needs to pay you to put this in an actual episode. Well done sir.

I watch this every couple of months and can't get over how well done this is

I'm speechless. That was incredible!

that was fucking awesome. They should use that on the show at times. Great job mate.

I always come back and watch this video over the years. I love it so much. Well done with all your work!

This is exactly the sort of thing the BBC should be putting in Doctor Who at this point. After they've changed the tone of the show so much in series 8, new sequences like this one would fit in perfectly. Given how the idea behind the new title sequence originally came from another VFX video online, I feel like the BBC may actually take this into consideration. So whether they do or they don't, thank you John Smith! You're amazing!

Holy shit!!! That's a movie born!!

This reminds me a lot of the scene in Interstellar when the Endurance is travelling through the wormhole.

Love love love this! Just thought about watching this again this week. Haven’t seen it in a few years, but never get tired of it!!

Whils watching the TARDIS go through the vortex (absoulutely stunning by the way) and listening to it, I had an epiphany. I want the Vortasaurs back from the 8th Doctor's audio adventures. To see them actually in the show would be really quite cool.

This makes the actual vfx team for 'Doctor Who' look like a bunch of preschoolers with plastic scissors and construction paper.

incredible!

Oh man, such a good job on this and a fresh way of viewing the Tardis in travel or the universe traveling around it. I watched this like 10 times, freaking awesome!!

This is amazing! Always love seeing your stuff.

Beautiful. Loved the vortex.

This was so beautiful. THIS NEEDS TO INCORPORATE THIS INTO AN EPISODE.

A truly genius mesmerising twist on the traditional fading dematerialisation effect! I come back to watch this from time to time, and never get tired re-watching it :-)

LOVE IT! I love the explosion POP sounds in the vortex.

Omg I would love you to create a Modern Doctor Regeneration vFX! That would be grest

THIS IS THE MOST AMAZINGLY BEAUTIFUL THING I HAVE EVER SEEN EVER.

This looks even better than it does in the show! So awesome. Absolutely fantastic!!

This honestly looks so good and I love how clean the transitions are

Epic :)

How has BBC not hired this guy yet, he's already 10x better than the special effects of doctor who lol

I love the transition to the vortex, how it doesn't look like the tardis is flying off, just moving through another dimension or something.

An absolutely fantastic visualisation of dematerialisation from the perspective of the TARDIS itself. Well done, that was genuinely something different and new.

This is magical !! Can i use this for a video ? I just put the link of your vidéo in the description... Sorry i am french so my english is not very good... ✨👌 Congratulations for your work

Mind. Blown. That's fucking epic. Hats off to you sir :)

That is the single best concept of the de-materialisation I've seen. And it was very smooth and well executed. Well done

I can't even begin to describe how brilliant this is.

Seriously, this should be in series 10. Though it's not a simple effect the could be use in every tardis move, and if you repeated it might seem old very quickly. I could see this sort of thing used if ever the Doctor were in another Time Chase, like he was at the beginning of the Empty Child, and the beginning of Human Nature.

Can't even think how many times I have watched this over the years. Absolutely stunning

Wow - completely wonderful, I hope this gets noticed and used in the series, this is superbly done!

Oh my bloody giddy aunt -- absolutely fantastic! Original concept with spectacular concept, and what a fab and beautiful TARDIS! BBC, sign up Mr Smith in a heartbeat!

That was incredible :D although I think you got the sound effect wrong (that was the materialization sound not dematerialization)

Fantastic!

Each time I think I can't be any more amazed by your videos, and each time I'm proven wrong. Amazing as always.

I've watched it 6 times already and not left the page yet... Brilliant take on the whole take off, travel and landing!!!

Correct me if I'm wrong but there was a hint of this as the TARDIS dematerialised at the end of the New Years episode today!

Why aren't you working on the show? Seriously, why not?

Oh, my Lord in Heaven, that was absolutely divine! Straight-up fanTAStic!

John, I'm impressed, I've been watching your videos for a long time but now the news have noticed you, I'm proud to have been here since nearer the beginning😜

EPIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The BBC should get you to do the shows VFX.

Absolutely first rate, and a very interesting alternative take on the process, as you say. I'm genuinely impressed.

This looks so amazing. I don't have any words. Just WOW.

Absolutely amazing as always except I have one question, what would it look like to people viewing it outside the TARDIS and not actually going with it when it disappears?

This video was really hot in a really weird kind of way.

I know this was like a few years ago. But my Lord that is stunning! Absolutely brilliant!

This is quite possibly one of the most beautiful things I have ever seen. Hope you're ready for a successful future!

Amazing.

Is this meant to be what it looks like from the TARDIS point of view, and what we see on the show it just the point of few of the person in that one location when it disappears?

WOW I love how you made it not disapear, and instead it started spinning me and my brother are huge whovians and we love this video.

I love the look of the space/time vortex.

How did you do the vortex Effect ? Can you make a small tutorial ? ^^

This is like a mix of Doctor Who (duh), Interstellar, and HP and the Deathly Hallows

Beautiful! I LOVE the chaos in the vortex!

Hey, you *are* alive! Great to see you back on KZfaq, and fantastic vid :)

Ok man, many things. 1. Artistic thoughts: Excellent idea. Nice concept and very good time vortex (the sound helps a lot thought). The best part: the re-materialisation. 2. Technical toughts (I've only seen this on my mobile phone {yet}): Nice look (you have a very recognisible style). Perhaps I missed the reflections of the lightning over the TARDIS wood, but that happens when you use Element. c. (or 3) The idea: Since the show has started taking the fans ideas (like the current titles which btw, excellent idea but poor execution), I really thing this should be next. 4. or d. (or that little iv) Proposals: Will you marry me?

Why hasn't the BBC hired you?!!!!

I was confused at first, almost didn't like it until I realized what I think you were doing, now I love it. probably my favorite clip perspective of re-materialization sequence. thank you! so imaginative! :)

The visuals are great, but the best part to me is the sound, it gave me chills! Especially the part right after dematerialisation, it really felt as if my ears popped due to acceleration. Nice work!

Oh my GOD!! I had an eye and eargasm. :D I loved it! Perfect. BBC has to shame itself to not thought about this concept!!!

That was really cool! You make amazing works, John Smith!

This is insane! My jaw dropped from just the first few seconds! I literally whispered 'holy shit' when the video finished. This is brilliant.

I cannot begin to describe with words, how amazing this is....
